29er Continental X King (non UST)

[bside]

Hi guys

 

Read a couple of reviews saying they don't hold air very well when going tubeless.

 

Any experience with running these tubeless?  

 

Cheers

Guilty as charged.

 

They also don't stick to the ground very well. (Edit: subjective. YMMV.)

if its not a foldable tyre they wont work at all, as for grip, I loved it

If you already own one, then you can improve the situation by cleaning the inside of the tyre with meths, allowing to dry, and painting with a coat or two of liquid latex before mounting.

 

(This is actually advisable for all Contis, but particularly the non-tubeless ones.)

Just what I needed, thanks guys.
